[Official] End of Closed Beta Test

*sigh*

The closed beta test is coming to an end. This Friday, October 29, at 3:00 PM PDT, the closed beta servers will go offline as we prepare to run another stress test. All active closed-beta accounts will remain active, and closed-beta testers will be receiving an email with instructions on what to do to continue playing in the stress test.

We will post more information about the stress test in the days ahead, so please stay tuned to WorldofWarcraft.com.

We also want to take this opportunity to thank the closed beta testers for their months of dedicated testing and hard work. Thanks to all of your suggestions and bug reports, World of Warcraft is closer than ever to being ready for launch!

In unrelated news, we will be bringing the beta servers down today at 6:30 PM PDT for maintenance. We estimate that the maintenance will last for one hour, and when the maintenance is complete, we’ll bring the servers back online. Please keep in mind that this is an estimate; should anything unexpected arise, we’ll post further notice in the Server Status forum. Thanks for your patience.

Darn… seems 40 will be impossible and no mount neither? Now, Blizzard did say that they would notice… with time… about this, but they are announcing it from one day to another.. yay~! :(

New World of Warcraft Policy: Account Penalties Overview

Our policy section has been updated again with a new Account Penalties Overview.

[Official] Regarding Current UIs and the Policies

I am posting this outside the thread so more people read it.

First, if you have not read this post, I suggest you do so:

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.aspx?fn=wow-interface-customization&t=527&p=1&#post527

We truly appreciate all the hard work that has gone into the various interface modifications out there. However, we are watching their functionality, and are evaluating what “crosses the line”. The features available to those who wish to mod the interface may change in the future because of that analysis.

If you’re concerned about whether or not we’re going to ban people in Closed Beta for using Cosmos, the answer is no; rest easy. I cannot speak for the future, however.
